“These kinds of actions go against everything the university stands for and against the spirit of competition.

“We can and will do better as a campus community that has no place for hate, bias, or bigotry.”

‘[Webb] climbed a rock formation or wall and slipped,” said Sgt. Tom Speldrich. “He hit his head [and] fell into the water.’

The French President, in turn, bowed to the remains of Elizabeth II this Sunday evening from a gallery in Westminster Hall, where the public has been parading for several days and where American President Joe Biden and the President of the European Commission have also paraded throughout the day came Ursula von der Leyen.

At the same time, the UK froze in a minute’s silence in memory of the monarch, who died on September 8 after more than 70 years of reign. Brits had been invited to celebrate the solemn moment in their homes, on their doorsteps or on their streets, or at community events and vigils.

This Monday is a public holiday in the UK for this state funeral, the first since that of Winston Churchill in 1965. Some 2,000 guests, including leaders from around the world, will gather at Westminster Abbey, where they will meet Meet Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, the culmination of tributes paid in immense emotion to worldwide popularity since the monarch’s death.

The funeral will begin at 11 a.m. local time (12 p.m. in France). They are chaired by the Dean of Westminster, David Hoyle. The homily will be delivered by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, spiritual leader of the Anglican Church, of which the British Sovereign is the formal head.

An hour later, the ceremony ends with the national anthem. The coffin is then hauled from the gun carriage towards Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner near Buckingham Palace, followed by the royal family and a procession, to the sounds of Big Ben and cannon shots. The crowd should be massaged during this course. The funeral will be broadcast nationwide on big screens and in cinemas.

China today reported the deaths of at least 14 workers trapped in a flooded mine in Hebei province (north) and 47 aftershocks after a powerful earthquake in Taiwan (south), with no casualties.

Authorities said rescuers are still searching for a person who went missing during the first incident that was accurately recorded at an iron quarry in Qianxi County.

In addition, they launched an investigation to determine the causes of the tragedy and promised to punish those who spread false information about it.

Taiwan, meanwhile, experienced nearly 50 aftershocks – including a magnitude 5.3 tremor – after a magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck western Taitung County last night and was felt in three mainland China provinces.

The tremors did not cause any fatalities, but caused damage such as the collapse of ceilings and walls, power cuts and ruptures in the hydraulic system pipes.

Images published on social networks show supermarkets with shelves and products on the floor, as well as the collapse of infrastructure due to the effects of earthquakes.

As more churches lose their callings, the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) pledges $40 million more for a total of $120 million over four years to restore these buildings that are part of the “history” of the province.

“Despite the decline in attendance at places of worship, these buildings retain their local and regional importance. Their architectural size and their location, often in the center of the oldest neighborhoods or village cores, make them powerful symbols of our built heritage,” said the party, which hopes to return to power on October 3.

That additional $10 million a year will be used to protect and enhance Quebec’s cultural heritage thanks to two programs designed to restore churches and requalify them for new uses according to the needs of the population, the leader announced of the CAQ, François Legault, accompanied by the candidates in Portneuf and Champlain, Vincent Caron and Sonia LeBel.

“Even though Quebec is secular, our churches are part of our history. It’s a precious legacy. It’s part of the beauty of Quebec. And we have a duty to protect that legacy,” Mr. Legault said as he drove through Greater Quebec City.
